How do I post a photo in comments? New here due to Reddit ban.
You’re asking the wrong person. Due either to my client, or my instance, I get, like, a 20% success rate on attaching images. Most of the time I get an error.
On my client, there’s a little picture icon. When I click that, it lets me select a picture and, if the wind is blowing in the right direction and the stars align, the picture is embedded. Otherwise, I upload to catbox.moe and manually embed the URL. The markdown syntax for an embedded image is:
I use Jerboa client on Android. It feels very much like the Reddit is Fun app.
There are rich text buttons at the bottom of the new post field. One is a photo icon, click that and it takes you to your photo/file browser to select a pic.
Here’s a pic I took of Earth’s bff, la Luna.
If you’re using voyager you can just copy and paste and it will handle it, usually, assuming your instance has image uploads enabled.
I’m on Mlem, seems easier to navigate.
I know mlem just got a new update, so I can’t comment on that BUT I can say that always come back to voyager.
It’s as close to the Apollo Reddit client as there is (as far as I’m aware)
i usually just have the picture in my clipboard and then ctrl+v. it should be uploaded and the markdown link added for you
Appreciate it. I’m on mobile, but I think I figure it out.
I love your username, my WiFi name is prettyflyforawifi
On desktop, you can just paste it.
You can do markdown, so
Me is, how stoned was I.
Half the time you just have to say “Fuck Tankies” or “Vote DNC” and you’ll get 4, 10, or even 20 of the most cookie cutter responses you’ve ever seen in your life.
That’s an awfully asymmetric expectation of effort!
Depends on how good the opponent’s automation is.
I know what I said, y’all’s angst feeds me.
This would all be easier if you all just agreed with me, the always correct person.
I might not always be right, but I’m never wrong
If I’m ever wrong. I delete that comment and pretend it didn’t happen. Or if someone actually makes a good counter argument I just go “meh, don’t feel like replying” and leave them unread. I do the worst crime. I’ll be 10 replies in and I won’t even downvote their last comment to let them know I read it. I’m sure it’s infuriating.
I got the last comment! I won!
Not so fast, BUDDY
I’d agree with you, but then we’d both be wrong.
I just assume I said something factually wrong and now dozens of helpful people are lining up to correct me.
Uhm, acshually… ☝️
Ah, I see you’ve developed a humiliation fetish as well
You forgot a comma.
Normally people just hardcore virtue signaling.
I’m too scared to check tbh. Somebody tell me if I am getting downvoted because I see 150 unreads
you kicked the .ml hornet nest, didn’t you?
here’s some ointment, now take your medicine and join the rest of the lemmies
Hornets? More like gnats or midges. Worst case, they tickle your skin a little or maybe you breath one in and cough it out onto the floor. They certainly do not sting. You can only even see them in the right light.
Some people take the validation of others quite seriously. Internet points, for them, are not at all fake - it’s a measure of their worth.
I’m not a psychiatrist, so I can’t say whether this is healthy, but I’d guess not of it’s causing them angst about something that has no direct effect on the base 3 levels of Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs.
HAVE YOU EVER BEEN BENT OVER BY BIGFOOT WHEN EXPLORING THE WOOD AND MISTAKEN FOR A MATE. THEN LEFT THERE LAYING OUT LIKE A WET SPAGHETTI NOODLE! THIS IS HOW IT FEELS DRIVING A FORD F150!
Reminded me of this
should’ve went with the F250…
next time brah
Hahahahaaa I didn’t know which to use but totally
Is it normal for people to regret what they said on here? Because I tend not to change my mind from downvotes and dumb responses. I do block people though
Downvotes sometimes make me want to clarify what I wrote on the assumption that it got misinterpreted.
Has that ever worked for you?
I do it a lot and can’t think of a single time it worked.
Occasionally. Other times it makes people angrier
I’ve seen a number of comments with a visible edit that have an even split between down and up votes. I can only assume the edit worked. Not like votes mean anything on Lemmy. It’s kinda nice not having the overall “karma” visible at all times.
Looking through some of my controversial comments, it seems like it worked maybe 1/3 - 1/2 of the time?
My only regrets are having to read stupid responses that completely missed the point of what I said because they want to argue with what they think I said.
Occasionally I learn something new from responses, which changes my perspective.
the best is when the response is about the first or last sentence of what I wrote and their response is addressed in the rest of it.
What a stupid comment, if you actually took the time to read and understood your replies then maybe you’d actually learn something from them, rather than just disregarding everyone who responds to you.
/s
I agree - A lot of people seem so prepared for someone to disagree with them that they seem to misfire on people they agree with. I try to avoid this by starting my comments with “I agree” 😊 … though even then some people still get confused 🫠
What are you talking about? You’re way off base, and completely unreasonable. It’s so typical of you people that I have a generalized baseless belief of. What about this other person that has nothing to do with this? Do you agree with them, too? I bet you also hate soldiers defending our country, and probably kittens too.
I I do actually second thought what I said. As I can be as wrong as any. And if I’m wrong I’m ought to change my mind.
My own experience with this was posting a shower thoughts thread while quite inebriated, forgetting I’d done it then waking up with a fairly full inbox so nothing controversial or argumentative.
My experience is that I reply to a lot of things, and post very few, and in no case do I have even a vague notion about how many comments what I write will generate. I can guess the vector magnitude of up/down votes, but never the amount of interaction, where people take time to reply.
I’ve admitted I was wrong a few times, but never from downvotes or dumb responses. You gotta cite good sources to get a reversal out of me.
I don’t want to deal with arguing especially since half the responses clearly only read the first sentence of my comment. I don’t have the energy for it. So I’m on an instance with downvotes disabled and rarely check my inbox.
If people like my contribution they can upvote, if they don’t like it they can downvote or argue back, but I don’t have the energy to give to that, so I probably won’t see it.
My thought was more “which of the things I wrote triggered such a reaction?” I’m often surprised.
I mean well, and I want to have hope for the future, but I’m depressed and have untreated ADHD and a desperate need for therapy, and I do worry that I’m letting all that influence how I talk to strangers online.
I’m probably too harsh sometimes, or not harsh enough, or dumb, or stupid, etc, more often than I’d like.
So yeah, I generally regret or worry over everything I say to everyone at some point or another. I suck xD But I’m too lonely to switch off and not talk to anyone entirely, so here we are.
Absolutely, it is only human to make mistakes. Of course there are time where someone gives a stupid reply but there are also times where that is not the case. If it were the assumption would be that I am right about everything, which is asinine
My first thought is always “Must be Nicole the Fediverse chick again” 😂
I just got her message this morning! 😂
She never talks to me anymore after that one night…
Man what am I doing wrong? Still nothing from her. Oh well. She’s probably too good for me anyways :,(
Find hot Nicoles in your local Fediverse!
Usually means you got featured on hexbear
what’s hexbear
Since there’s no serious answer: hexbear is a highly toxic instance that has been defederated by most other instances. However, their users will keep tabs on what’s said on other instances, and they’ll occasionally show up en masse with alt accounts to attack something that particularly enraged them.
Many of them are…not quite mentally stable.
They’re probably the single largest base of tankie support. For them, America = bad, and anyone opposed to America = good. They pretend to care about communism etc but they’re really just anti-American. Saying anything negative about China gets you instantly banned.
You are a disingenuous liar.
Go to the hexbear news megathread and you will find criticism of China:
There are many Chinese hexbear users that discuss the flaws of their country, people that are banned are those that spread misinformation.
Of course the United States = bad there is no modern equivalent to the outsourcing of death, despair, and destruction the great satan exports.
lemmy.world “preemptively defederated as a last resort” you can find their reasoning here: https://lemmy.world/post/2498330 sounds like lemmy.world wants an echo-chamber yet despite whinging about “brigades” there has never been any actual proof that brigades are organized.
hexbear defederated FROM sh.itjust.works, lemmy.ca, lemmy.blahaj.zone, programming.dev, lemmy.nz, aussie.zone because those instances were NOT moderating to the standard that hexbear places on cultivating a space for marginilzied people.
Who are you to judge the mental stability of people when you constantly project your insecurities on to those seeking a better future.
that is the limp dickiest ‘criticism’ i’ve ever seen. please go back to your tankie instance.
no need to display your homophobia and i will stay right here. it took me minutes to easily disprove the “any criticism of China = ban” I’m sure anyone who as any intellectual curiosity will see that you are hypocritical swine that wallow in your treats to distract from your exploitation.
why are you so afraid of hexbear?
Wow, case in point.
yes, you and the two others have proven that if anyone “brigades” it is dronies
how do you not feel shame for your rampant consumption and utter lack of critical thinking?
while you cry to each other about the other China has built more renewable energy than the west combined
A fictional entity used by right wingers on Lemmy to victimize themselves.
Are you literally claiming hexbear doesn’t exist?
That’s a new one
I cannot see Hexbear and it has zero impact on my life.
When right wingers are wrong they like screeching about Hexbear. That is what Hexbear is for Lemmy.World users. such as ourselves.
You yourself are on Lemmy.World which begs the question why you are so obsessed with Hexbear.
Hexbear is left wingers, so they say. Just vehemently anti American. Russia is their ultimate hero. It’s co.pletely contradictory. Saw one today arguing that Alexis Nolvany was a secret Nazi and got himself killed. And God damn, do they hate Vladimir Zelensky; he’s a Nazi dictator despite being popularly elected in an election that all observers found free and fair, and despite living a fairly modest lifestyle; and that’s in contrast to Putin, despite Putin living in multiple billion dollar secret bunker mansions guarded by the military and being president for life thanks to what all international observers agree are sham elections.
Navalny the guy who called Muslims cockroaches to be exterminated? Yeah that guy was a Nazi. Zelensky probably not.
Putin can be bad and Navalny can be a Nazi at the same time. Somehow this is impossible to get through liberal heads.
When you had hex with a bear last night but can’t remember.
If you don’t know, count yourself hella lucky and move on with your day.
What does your uid signify?
It’s the sexy new British emergency number lol
First laugh of the morning, thank you!
Look at all these replies! I can’t wait to tell all these internet randos how wrong they are!
How wrong am I?
It’s not my job to educate you
Classic. Reddit taught you well.
it amazes me with what gets the most attention.
At least unlike reddit people aren’t directly insulting you.
We have very different lemmy experiences
Oh you have to block a few key instances and life is rosy. Stay away from Tankies and ultra Libertarians and you’re fine.
Nah I get posts removed and banned from big subs like Political Memes all the time. No criticizing the Left or questioning why they seem to always exclusively blame literally everything on Democrats.
Bet
Most of the time I know exactly what I’m getting if I see more than maybe 3+ comments. Usually it’s me saying something anti-communist, something on brand enough for me.
